Rejected petition Pay increase and help with mileage costs for community carers.

To give carers a higher rate of pay and increase the mileage allowance.

More details

I would like the government to help the carers in social care receive a decent wage and help with mileage as the cost of petrol and cost of living increases as there is a shortage of carers and there is difficulty in recruiting new staff due to the low pay and the high cost of petrol.

This petition was rejected

Why was this petition rejected?

It’s about something that the UK Government or Parliament is not directly responsible for.

The pay and conditions of private carers is a matter for their employers, not the UK Government or House of Commons.
